MF9 help.

See picture. Currently still on stock rom rooted, ktoonsez kernel, and still on mdc.
What will be the steps to update to mf9? Can I just flash the firmware and call it a day or are there extra steps?

Check out this link to update your modem. I just got done updating mine and it went super smooth. After your modem if updated to mf9, go and flash any mf9 based rom.

So you're saying that if I flash that file by noobnl to my phone using Odin, once that's done I can just flash ANY custom rooted MF9 rom using TWRP and I'm set?

Perfecto.. so now when I flash the rom. It says no data wipe. Meaning all my apps and personal settings are still there? Also will it affect the kernel?

I would back up your data to be safe and it's always good to do a clean flash with a new rom. Most roms come with a kernel.... FYI, if your WiFi does not work after flashing a Rom, just flash another kernel. Most times that fixes it.

So I just flashed the mf9 rom and it went smooth except for I lost ktweaker app to adjust ktoonsez kernel. Running choppy and such. Going to flash his newest updated kernel. Im still on an older version.

Have you checked Device Administrators in Security to see if anything is there that shouldn't be?

Dose it look normal

Are you rooted?
If so, what rom are you running?
This is the exact issue the UnKnownforce is trying to fix in his thread.
Go HERE and search the thread for lockscreen. You'll find many posts concerning this issue. There is no 100% fix yet. Works fine for some and not for others.

That's what I'm guessing he did. Someone said that if you flash with cwm not Philz or Twrp that it works.

Well that makes absolutely no sense. You took the OTA then rooted and flashed the NAE modem??? If you took the OTA why would you have to flash the NAE modem. Something is fishy here. Are you on the NAE upgrade or are you a piece meal install with mismatched bootloader, modem, and software. If you are on stock NAE then the lock screen should work as mine works with all options. If you are on a custom rom, that is where the problem is. Post a screenshot of your about phone info page or list the specifics of what you have so we can further help you.

Yea i took the Ota everything was nae but my baseband then I flashed the nea modem is

You might be screwed until the stock tar comes out. If your baseband hadn't changed with the ota, then the update didn't complete. You may still be on the mk2 bootloader. There is suppose to be an app that can tell you what bootloader your on, but I don't know what it is called. You can try to Odin the mk2 tar file. If it completes your golden and then can redo the update. If it fails then you have the NAE bootloader. you can try installing a custom kernel to get wifi back, or see if you can find a copy of the stock NAE kernel.

You search for how to Odin a stock image on your device. Hint: the general section has many posts on this.

Yes, but as an fyi, there is no direct root method for nb1. So if you're looking for root you might want to consider mk2

Use saferoot to root. You can Google it
Edit, look in the general forum and read up on mk2 and nb1. You can get a rooted nb1 rom on your phone with safestrap. But do some homework before you decide doing it.

SGH I337 MK2 stuck in odin mode PLEASE HELP

I recently rooted my S4, everything seemed like it was working just fine. Here is where it all fell apart.
1) I chose to reboot into recovery mode from the Goomanager
2) Phone rebooted into Odin Mode
3) Cannot boot regularly and nothing I have tried can get me out of Odin Mode.
I used Kingo android root to root my phone.
Im dieing please help me

You can't put on a custom recovery on mk2. You're going to have to Odin the mk2 tar file to recover your device
